Abstract

A reconfigurable wideband monopole antenna is introduced in this paper for cognitive radio and wireless applications. The reconfigurability was achieved by four varactor diodes embedded in the band pass filter (BPF) structure which was integrated with the suggested antenna through its feed line. The simulated impedance characteristics coped with the measured ones after fabricating the suggested model with/without the reconfigurable BPF. Furthermore, the model achieved the desired radiation characteristics in terms of radiation pattern with acceptable gain values at the selected frequencies within the achieved frequency range (1.3–3 GHz).
